Volume 5, Issue 4 (April 2018), Pages: 93-99 ---------------------------------------------- Original Research Paper Title: A new technique in optimizing urban highway bypasses Author(s): Jalil Shahi *, Mortaza Khalili Affiliation(s): Department of Transportation, Iran University of Science and Technology, Tehran, Iran https://doi.org/10.21833/ijaas.2018.04.012 Abstract: In this paper, by reviewing the previous studies and literature on the highway bypasses selection, the criteria and variables associated with the bypasses planning are investigated. Then, the needed statistics and information for the top model of the identified bypass selection are collected. Using the Delphi technique, a model is developed for the bypasses optimization. The model is constructed based on the collected data analysis and finally verified. In each decision, the decision making space is continuous or discrete and the decision making in discrete or continuous spaces are functions of variables which affect decision making product (optimum option). Regarding the variables or criteria of decision making space, the importance and relevance value of criteria with each other are of high importance further to the determination of the effective value of the decision making title. This study clarifies how such a unique method is implemented for the highway bypasses planning problem solution. The result shows this introduced method in this study for planning and prioritizing bypasses has many advantages over traditional methods which have been used up to now and can be a good alternative to the traditional methods by creating a comprehensive vision of the national road network. © 2018 The Authors.
